Is natural gas cheap in India? Nukes have their own issues. See Chernobyl and Fukushima...unless you build them 1000 miles away in a desert (not feasible--water and transmission issues.) Pollution in horrible and takes lives, but so does poverty. The lesser of two evils might be found somewhere in the middle.
>>(China has done an excellent job of moving pollution away from population centres.)
But they had it there initially. So did the USA, you can still see the old chimneys
- cfadvan 8y agoNukes have their own issues. See Chernobyl and Fukushima...unless you build them 1000 miles away in a desert (not feasible--water and transmission issues.) This is like saying that airships have a lot of issues because of the Hindenburg disaster. Technology has come a long way since either Chernobyl or Fukushima were built! Nuclear plants can be made very safe, and as a bonus won’t contribute to the deaths of millions from pollution.
